Ordinarily I advise people to upgrade their gadgets every second generation. So why am I not taking my own advice with the third-generation iPad? Maybe it was carelessness. Then again, maybe my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was jealous that the iPad 2 was getting all the attention. I had set the iPad 2 on top of the Galaxy Tab, which in turn was resting on a couple external hard drives in the power-strip section of my office where most of my electronica goes when it needs a current fix. (Don't ask me about my office, and really don't ask my wife.) . One of the hard disks was propped up a bit for better airflow, so the Galaxy Tab was sloped just a smidgen. Apparently it's slippery enough that the iPad 2 gradually slithered its way off until it fell down to the hardwood floor. It had been charging, and through some butter-side-down phenomenon, the charging cable was the first thing that hit. The first result: the iPad glass bowed out. The 30-pin charging connector was smashed up into the iPad, and the nearby home button stopped working. The second result: a trip to the Apple store, where a genius told me the only thing Apple would do is sell me a new iPad 2 for 400 euros (about $525). I couldn't put the money toward an iPad 3, and though I could have sold it, the hassle didn't seem worthwhile. |
